In 2008, an organization in the United Kingdom called the Association for Payment Clearing Services did a study to see if people born under one astrological sign in the Zodiac actually handled money better than other people born under other signs. The study turned up some interesting results that fit in with how traditional astrology has always described the financial habits of the different signs.
For example, the study found out that Taurus natives tended to be the most cautious with money, which is not surprising at all as one of the main personality traits of Taurus is conservatism. The result of the study was a brief guide as to how the different signs of the Zodiac handle money. Here is a brief summation of what they found out.

This sign is reliable and consistent with monthly payments, but more inclined to make an impulse purchase that wipes out any room on their credit card.
Taurus
This sign was found to be the most responsible when it came to making on time payments and keeping meticulous financial records.
Gemini
This was one of the most financially irresponsible signs and the least organized when it came to filing paper work. They are also most likely to pay their bills late.
